melt away. Dissipated sons diffuse the
tedious accumulations. The anarchists
need not be hasty. Their sons will
have as fair a chance as anybody of
being the plutocrats of the time to
come, and their grandsons will do the

BY the way, it is surprising how happy
it makes the democratic warehouses; to
think that Blaine is put out of the way.
Once in awhile democratic paper
valiantly declares that the democrats
would rather see Blaine nominated
than any other republican, but as a rule
there is JOY among the Jacksonans at
anything that seems to point to the re-
tirement of the dreaded republican
leader. Why is this? Echo only an
swers. But Mr.. Blaine is not going to
be retired He is too much a tower of
strength and his party wants him. If
he is not made president place will
be found for him in the senate, where
he will be found more dangerous to the
democracy than in the executive chair.

THE Washington National Repubh-
can says of the New York election:
"This extraordinarily large vote for
the democratic candidate is solely the
result of the nomination of Mr.. Nicoll,
and to it may be attributed the defeat
of the republican state ticket. The
democrats may thank the New York
World for the success of their state
ticket. Mr.. Nicoll himself stated that
he voted the democratic ticket, and il
is certain that his democratic followers,
brought to the polls solely by his can
didacy, did the same thing. Thousands
of democrats that voted for Fellows and
the whole democratic ticket would not
have been at the polls but for the can
didacy of Nicoll The republicans of
New York have probably learned some
thing by this election
THE republicans have a majority of
the Virginia delegation in the fiftieth
congress; their total vote last year ex-
ceeded that of the democrats by some
thousands; and although the democrats
have just carried the legislature they
are once more in a minority on the
popular vote. There is no installing
the significance of these facts. If there
is not fighting chance in Virginia it
is not easy to see what constitutes a
fighting chance anywhere. What the
Virginia republicans have gained has
been gained without outside help and
encouragement. Is it unreasonable to
suppose that with the same assistance
from the national republican party as
is given their brethren in doubtful
Northern States they could succeed in
carrying their state in a presidential
election?-ConcOrd Monitor.
No greater mistake can be made by
the daughters of the first families even
than to get the idea into their heads
that it is beneath their dignity to do
homework, and that Homework is
drudgery,' fit only for servant
girls" In all probability this is the
main difficulty at Rutland. There are

unquestionably, as there are in all east
ern towns, and there ought to be women
enough to do the homework and to
furnish help for the shirt factory be-
sides. Boy-loafers, of rich or poor
parents, are the bane of society; and
are girl-loafers any more desirable ?
Whenever Homework comes to be re-
| garded as the most respectable business
in which women can engage help in
this department will be plenty enough.

GERMANY seems to be more pros
porous to-day than any other European
country, and much of its prosperity is
due to protection of home industries
An American who has recently been
travelling in that country states that
many sections of Germany are worked
to perfection. There is clean farming
everywhere. The cleared country is
open and there are no fences. The di-
visions are made by bitches, with white
stones here and there as landmarks OF
ownership. Cattle and sheep, and even
geese, are watched by old women and
small children, and so kept upon theil
proper domain for pasturage. The
women as much as the men are seen al
MISUNDERSTANDING, gathering crops
blowing, narrowing and applying the
hoe and spade. Forests are carefully
preserved and protected by law. A
tree cannot be felled without legal con
sent, and when permitted a small one
must be planted to grow in its place

IN the November number of the Neu
Englander Mr.. Frederick j. Kings
bury, in paper on the labor question,
protit-sharing, ETC., says:
When one notes the lavish extravaganza
in dress of our shop-grls and domestic serv
ants; when we remember that patches
those homely evidences of domestic thrift
are now matter of history and that oul
laboring people have bought their clothing
ready-made and thrown it aside when il
needed mending until the use of the needl,
is almost lost art among them; when W,
see every species of amusement supported
by funds drawn from the working people
and when we further reflect that a larg,
majority of the great capitalists of to-day
were twenty years ago working for less
wages per diem than the common day
